"This could easily be the best book on management so far... an entertaining and instructive guide...

It is hard valuable advice thatr you will not regret reading and putting into practice." - Personnel Today

Being a manager today is more complex than ever before. Managers need to be clever, have great people skills and be politically savvy. And there’s no training manual which tells you what you really want to know: how to make things happen, how to survive and how to succeed in today’s world. Until now, managers have had to discover the rules of success on their own.

 

How to Manageis set to change this: it is the ultimate how-to of management. Based on years of management experience and practice, it shows you what you have to do and how you have to do it in 30 simple steps. From making decisions to managing money and people,How to Manage covers all the political, rational and people skills you need.

If you're only going to read one book on management ever, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in the West, 14 Jan 2007
By Hiromi Takahashi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Reading most Western management books, it is easy to see why the West has been losing ground to the East over the last 25 years. You either get a business man boasting about their way, or you get an impractical academic with no real experience pushing a second rate theory.

This book, at last, is different. It made me take notice. It is highly practical: the stories used to illustrate the points made are clearly real world and make immediate sense to anyone who works in an organisation.

How to Manage is covers lots of practical skills in three areas: EQ (Emotional Quotient), IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and PQ (Political Quotient). IQ and EQ are made presented as a series of learnable skills. You do not have to be a genius to be a smart manager: you can learn the skills. PQ is the most interesting bit. I thought this would be all about how to advance your career. Instead, it is about how you make things happen when your responsibility is greater than your resources. That is a familiar challenge to most managers today, and How to Manage gave lots of ideas on how to deal with this challenge. Much of this section was new to me, but made sense when I thought about both Western and Japanese organisations I have worked for.

This is the first good management from the West which I have read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, 22 Jul 2007
This book has all the answers in a practical and easy-to-read format. I would highly recommend this book to all managers, would-be managers, students in management or any other discipline which requires management. It has helped me manage myself through a non-management degree as it has valuable information on many aspects of self-management as well as that of others.
